Featured Members IBO week ending 11-12-2016

Last week I said I hoped that Donald Trump would be our next President and this week he is.

I must confess to getting very little sleep on Tuesday/Wednesday and grinning so much I was sure that a stranger would assume I had some mental disorder.

On Wednesday I was meeting with a prospect (now client) about her Medicare insurance and her 2 adults daughters were there also…

The conversation turned to politics for a few minutes and this hispanic mom/grandmom expressed that she wanted Trump to be elected but that she hadn’t bothered to vote because she knew that here in New Mexico her vote wouldn’t really count (New Mexico is an overwhelmingly “blue state”, voting Democrat for decades)

Both daughters said that they hadn’t voted either and then the surprise of the morning when the one “20 something” year old daughter said very “matter of factly”...

“I don’t understand why Obama didn’t just run again”...

I briefly explained the 2 terms law and wondered silently how that happens...

This week we’ve seen organized protests in a dozen cities from folks who are pointing out that the loser - Hillary Clinton - had more popular votes although she lost the electoral vote. BUT...

that’s the way the Presidential election - the contest - is run. Those are the “rules of the game”.

President Trump and Hillary Clinton could have/would have both focused on gathering more popular votes…

If the election was based on “popular vote”, Trump would have focused on getting more votes in states like California - New York and New Mexico where many of his supporters didn’t bother to vote because it really DID NOT matter.

Similarly, Hillary Clinton would have invested more time in gathering votes in the 29 of 50 states she lost.

I suspect the end result would have been the same but it really doesn’t matter. The rules to be elected to the office of “President of the United States” are based (at least for now) on an electoral college model.

If you were a Hillary voter I feel 8 years of your pain, but it’s over. Let’s move forward...

There are rules also If you are trying to be the Featured Member of the Day on IBO (wow that was a stretch :)

Over the last 150 weeks, I’ve recorded/reviewed 1,049 Featured Members of the Day.

The exact algorithm that determines WHO the featured member of the day is and IBO management “secret”, But from MY experience , IF YOU want to be featured - focus on…

Being ACTIVE in ALL the areas on IBO Toolbox that you earn “stars” for. The more active you are, consistently, for a period of time the more likely you will be the next FMOTD...

Be aware - also - that once you are “featured” you can’t be featured again for at least 45 days...

The “FMOTD” designation is NOT based on popularity or money. You can’t “buy it” with popularity votes from your followers or with any amount of money invested in advertising.

Be consistent EVERY DAY for a period of time, and you too can be - might be - probably will be - the “FMOTD” (Featured Member of the Day)

The featured members (in my opinion) are some of the best prospects for any business that you’ll find on IBO because “active” people are already “in motion”.

Go to my list of posts and look for the featured members’ posts if you’ve missed some past weeks…

“Click through” the individual’s name for any day and you can see their “statistics”...

Each week some are very new here and some have been here for years.
